In a probate case based in the US, does the NY court have any jurisdiction for property in Cayman Islands?

Question

Decedent owned property in Grand Cayman and property was sold. Should the NY court have any say over its sale and distribution of the proceeds?

Answer 1

Yes, they DO have jurisdiction. I suggest you look at NY State Statutes on the subject and you will see how & why. Part of the rationale is judicial efficiency.
